Flywheel energy storage (FES) is a very interesting technology. Fig. 9.3 shows the working principle of FES. During the off-peak hours or when the electricity production is larger than the energy demand, surplus energy is used to drive the motor connected to the flywheel. This flywheel converts the electrical energy into rotational kinetic energy.
The energy storage facility provided by flywheels are suitable for continuous charging and discharging options without any dependency on the age of the storage system. The important aspect to be taken note of in this regard is the ability of FES to provide inertia and frequency regulation .
